I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it. His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious.
If Obama were president again, and his daughters, Malia and Sasha, were raking in billions from overseas deals, this planet would flip the fuck over.
Everyone: “Release the Epstein files!” Fat Satan: “I hear you, loud and clear. I’ll release the Earhart files.”

I will never stop demanding the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This level of injustice makes me sick to the marrow of my bones. It’s utterly horrifying. I will speak his name as long as it takes. No one can stop me.
